Man, this miniseries, Landscapers, had a lot going for it. Firstly, it was only four episodes and I learned it was based off a true story that broke fairly recently. It also starred the fabulous Olivia Coleman and the delightful David Thewlis. These are all wins in my book, but sadly, it just never quite lived up to my expectations.

We Own This City – Miniseries Review
As a somewhat newfound Jon Bernthal fan, I was really excited to get to watch this six-part miniseries, We Own This City, based off of actual events that happened within the Baltimore Police Department over the better part of two decades. I was even more excited because I knew it was written by the same people who were responsible for the critically acclaimed, The Wire, and that it was going to be directed by King Richard‘s Reinaldo Marcus Green.
Read moreOur Flag Means Death – Season 1 Review
I’m so glad I waited to hear that Our Flag Means Death got renewed for a second season before watching it! There were so many cliffhangers! But besides all of that, this show was quite a delight to watch.
Read moreMinx – Season 1
You know, Jake Johnson was my favorite actor from New Girl, so I pay a particular amount of attention to his career. Imagine my surprise when I learned he was to co-lead this series, Minx, about the first magazine to appeal to women’s issues but also featuring nude men.
Read moreSomebody Somewhere – Season 1
This show! Bridget Everett really only came into my life a couple of years ago when I watched the film Patti Cake$ (which, go watch it already!), and I’ve been looking out for her in things ever since. She’s just got such a calming presence and voice and I just want to hug this woman! But instead of doing that, I will settle for her excellent new show, Somebody Somewhere.
Read moreThe Other Two – Season 2
Oh my gosh! I definitely never thought I’d ever see the second season of this incredible comedy. Back in January of 2019, the first season of The Other Two premiered on Comedy Central, and then after it aired and I laughed a bunch, I never heard anything about it. When it finally got picked up for a second season, the well of information ran dry again, but then a second season finally saw the light of day later last year.
Read moreHacks Season 2
Hacks is back! Well, I mean, it’s done airing all of its second season episodes, but still, it’s back with new stuff! Thank goodness the wait was brief.
Read moreBarry Season 3
It’s been so long since a full season of Barry has hit HBO! But it’s back, and I got to it pretty quick, if I do say so myself. And I, just like plenty of other people, loved it.
Read moreThe Staircase Miniseries Review
I am not generally into true crime, that is, unless it’s made into a fictionalized show or movie with a bunch of actors that I love case. Case in point: The Staircase. This HBO Max miniseries is based off the documentary of the same name that was fairly recently all the rage on Netflix. Well, now this story has finally made its way to me.
Read moreSlow Horses – Season 1
Apple continues to shine with this British drama series, Slow Horses. Evidently based off of a novel by Mick Herron of the same name, this series already impressively has three more seasons lined up! That’s pretty cool! And even better, the second season is supposed to drop later this year.
